The thing about soldering in there is, if your iron tip is actually small enough to fit, that if the body of the jack is plastic you can melt it faster than you can get a solder bead in there... I'd just change the jack on the TVs PCB at that point...if you want something original look for a junk monophonic cassette recorder from the period with a mic input jack and use solder wick or a solder sucker to remove the jack from the tape recorder PCB, then install on the TV.
I checked my adapter last night and it is identical to the eBay part.
